This was such a fun, informative and beautiful end of the day activity! The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and the perfect person for this job. The city views were breathtaking and the sunset just added to the experience. I can’t recommend this enough. If we return to Boston, which we will, this will be back on our list!

Nice narrative regarding history and the shore line. You can be indoors or outdoors which is good to know if your weather is not so good. We got a great sunset view.

Our group truly enjoyed seeing the city from the Harbor and hearing all about Boston’s history! Our guide, Holly, was very knowledgeable! The USS Constitution cannon firing was a plus and the sunset was gorgeous!
Diane_R, Aug 2026
Great sites, and info given. I did not hear a lot of what was said. Beautiful skyline and sunset views.
Eric_K, Aug 2026
Definitely worth it. Make sure to get a seat at the front of the boat for the best views. Host was very informative, but a bit too much for me
Miguel_V, Aug 2026
It was very interesting, inspiring and enjoyable. Me and my wife had the greatest time we didn't expect.
Lisa_S, Aug 2026
Beautiful sunset cruise. Got to see planes flying overhead. Saw the skyline of the city from a different perspective than on land. The tour guide was very informative. Bathrooms and beverages for purchase onboard. Recommend getting there early to get in line for a better seat.
Patti_O, Aug 2026
Great views and great commentary provided on the various points of interest. Was also very cool to see the canons fire off the USS Constitution. It felt a bit disorganized on the dock when boarding and seating seemed very limited, so we had to stand the whole time and all the views were only on one side of the boat, so couldn't always get good pictures from the back rail, over all the others on the ride.
Ariel_B, Aug 2026

Patricia_H, Aug 2026
Excellent narration & absolutely perfect evening. Appreciated the flexibility & explanation of where we were going. Really provides a helpful & historical perspective of the harbor & the city.
Abdul_L, Aug 2026
It was a lovely cruise but there were not enough seats for everyone and it was very crowded on the 2 decks.
Christell_B, Aug 2026
While the experience was great, we were unable to hear the tour guide at all. We sat in the back for the views but had no idea what we were looking at- i recommend letting guests know that you can only hear if you sit upfront or invest in a better sound system.
Astrid_G, Aug 2026
Horrible. What I spent was not worth it at all. Super over priced and crowded I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
Donna_R, Aug 2026
Bait and switch. It is not the beautiful yacht as pictured. It is a large metal bay boat. I do not think the boat we were on was what I paid for. But guide was very very good
Jody_G, Jul 2026
Beautiful view of the city skyline and learned so much about the waterfront we did not know. Would have preferred a little less talking from narrator & crowd to be able to just enjoy the views.
Courtenay_N, Jul 2026
Beautiful views, fantastic crew, very informative!
This cruise is a must-do whether you’re a first timer in Boston or repeat visitor!
Alicia_A, Jul 2026
This was okay but packed us on and there weren’t enough chairs. Only offered pictures to the people at the front of the line. I would do this again but not through this company.
Cary_H, Jul 2026
The sunset was beautiful. The planes pattern over the ship was so amazing to watch. The history narrative was so interesting.
Michael_D, Jul 2026
Great guide great experience! We both enjoyed it! So knowledgeable about the history and area lots of fun
Danny_B, Jul 2026
We booked through Viator which was a 3rd party for the Boston harbor tour we booked, and the instructions in the Viator app were wrong about the arrival time. The time provided to us was 7pm and we arrived at 7pm and were unallowed to board and take the cruise, and they would not issue a refund. Very disappointed that this group would not provide a refund due to misinformation.
Chris_T, Jul 2026
This cruise is well done - a little bit of storytelling and history with great views. The route ends with a BANG!
Diana_L, Jul 2026
Don’t take this tour unless weather is sunny. The boat is not the same as picture in the Viator ads. Very basic no ambiance and really long when weather is foggy and limited view. Our guide was knowledgeable and fine but trip was disappointing
Aniruddha_S, Jul 2026
Wonderful cruise and learning points from the crew members about the history of Boston. Sunset views were gorgeous and would definitely do it again
Elaine_O, Jul 2026
Excellent sunset cruise that they modified to include the Tall Ships. Excellent tour guide and boat captain who modified the usual trip for the special event. Excellent ride!!
